afterGLOW is a Black-and queer-led nightlife experience returning to Dance Place DC for one night only. The evening opens with Blacker the Berry, a curated lobby market featuring Black and Brown artists vending work across fashion, art, accessories, and handmade goods. This is a space to browse, connect, and support local creatives before the night shifts into performance. Lobby doors open at 6pm.
At 9pm, the theatre transforms into afterGLOW: Light Up the Night: a thrilling glitter-filled, wig-pulling, draglesque celebration produced by haus of bambi and Metro Cabaret Club. afterGLOW boldly affirms that the future is Black, queer, and absolutely fabulous – happening right here and now!
